Some users asked me about a way to create fully self-contained nar archives that do not requires that node or nar must be already installed in the system in order to run or extract an application

I've finally decided to provide support to this feature. From 0.3.0 version you can create executable binary-like nar archives that do not have external dependencies. node binary and nar package are now embedded

$ nar create --executable
> It generates server-0.1.0.nar, for example

Then you can distribute your archive into a fresh server (without node installed) and simply run
$ chmod +x server-0.1.0.nar
$ ./server-0.1.0.nar run --args-start='--port 8080'

$ npm install -g nar

I hope this will be useful

Ah! I just want to mark that nar was created to be an application container to distribute, run and install private node applications that are outside of the npm ecosystem

FYI

nar 0.2.0 is out with useful new features.
Now you can download, install and run archives from remote servers

Some CLI usage examples:

$ nar run http://server.net/app-0.1.0.nar
$ nar install http://server.net/app-0.1.0.nar --save
$ nar get http://server.net/app-0.1.0.nar

Hi everyone!

I just released nar, a simple utility for creating self-contained node applications that are ready to ship and run
It was created especially for deployments into isolated servers

I think it could be useful to the node community in general

Note that nar is still beta. Feedback, issues and PR are really appreciated

Thanks for reading!
